Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods. All significant intercompany transactions and balances within the financial statements have been eliminated.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2017 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 1, 2018.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications

Certain line items on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2017 have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Adopted Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-09 (“ASU 2014-09”), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Subsequent to ASU 2014-09, the FASB issued several related ASUs. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2014-09 and the related ASUs as of January 1, 2018 using a modified retrospective approach, which resulted in no cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. The timing and amount of revenue recognition from rooms, food and beverage and other ancillary hotel goods and services will not change.  Revenue will continue to be recognized at the point in time or over the period of time when goods and services have been delivered or rendered to the customer.  Payment for room rentals is generally due on the last date of the hotel stay and the payment for goods and services are generally due at the time the goods and services are delivered or rendered to the customer.  

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01 (“ASU 2016-01”), Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10):Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The amendments in ASU 2016-01, among other things, eliminated the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that was previously required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-01 as of January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01 (“ASU 2017-01”), Business combinations (Topic 805) – Clarifying the definition of a business, which adds guidance to assist with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or business. ASU 2017-01 clarified that when the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) are concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the acquisition would not be considered a business. We adopted this ASU on a prospective basis on January 1, 2018. Transactions before January 1, 2018 were not affected.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”), Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes existing guidance on accounting for leases in Leases (Topic 840) and generally requires all leases to be recognized in the statement of financial position. Subsequent to ASU 2016-02, the FASB issued a related ASU. Although early adoption is permitted, we expect to adopt these new ASUs on a modified retrospective basis when the requirements become effective January 1, 2019. We are currently evaluating the effect that these ASUs will have on our consolidated financial statements.
